Friona City Zoning Code

Zoning is the legal and administrative process whereby the city protects itself against indiscriminate land uses. The power to zone is conferred upon Texas cities to promote the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the public, and to protect and preserve places and areas of historical, cultural, or architectural importance and significance. When the owner of any property in the city wishes to use it in a manner that is prohibited by the current zoning, said owner or their representative must apply to request the zoning be changed. A filing fee in the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00) shall be required for each change of zoning request, prior to the consideration of said request by the planning and zoning commission. The change of zoning request fee shall be nonrefundable.
